    Thinking bigger...

    I currently carry a Ruger SP101 with a 3" barrel. I have never had to use it, and it has always been fun shooting and reliable. I was thinking about stepping it up though. I want a little more gun just in case. Ideally for me it would have fixed sights, like my SP. I want to have a sixth...

    Military Surplus Items

    Hey all! I've collected a few items from gun shows, army-navy stores, and other flea market and various locations quite the military surplus gear list. Among the items many AR-15 magazines marked "For Government/Law Enforcement/ Export Use Only." If for any bizarre reason I was stopped on the...

    .223 HP Pros...

    So, I made the mistake of not checking my ammo at the gun store, picked up a few boxes of .223 HP, I am of the understanding that when a .223 bullet hits you it is supposed to tumble and cause massive internal wounds, with a hollow point it should expand, this may be an issue, does it make that...

    Good deal or great buy?

    Hey, here in Missouri we had GREAT weather and I was out and about and came across an estate sale selling a few random gun related items. They had something that caught my eye... A box of Western .308 150gr. Silvertip cartridges. The box looked old, and I was a bit shocked to see...

    Next Friday, is P.O.W. M.I.A. Rememberance day (Federal). Be sure to go shooting, display your flag, or clean your guns. Never forget we have our rights to bear arms because someone fought for it. Some fought and came back, some fought and were captured and now they a footnote in our calendar...

    How many guns can you carry?

    In a real life SHTF situation, be it foreign invasion/zombies/government take over, what ever, one can only carry a few rifles/shotguns practically. So, honestly, we may have ten guns, we may have fifty guns, but when it comes down to brass tacks (tax) what do you do? I would imagine a 7.62...

    MO Law, Folding Knives Only

    This may be a law question but I am not sure. Missouri law states that no EDC knife may be a fixed blade. Also, our law limits us to four inches. My question for you is this: Could you list a few 4" folding knives that could be stored opened in a leather sheath. My father and I have...

    One less criminal

    Do you remember Batman and how the Joker would be hanging from a cliff, just inches from death, when from out of no where Batman pulls the Joker to safety, just to reak havok again? I've been reading on these forums, and within myself debating, 'Whould I shoot and kill someone, if they broke...

    Thousands Place

    I was not born into a gun family, sure my father had a shotgun, but disassembled in the basement. I have since been learning and thinking a lot on the subject of firearms, and there is a sole question that I cannot answer (well, probably not sole). Why do calibers have a thousands place? In...

    Birdshot Data

    I am interested in getting some information on FF, F, TT, or T on home defense. I know buckshot is tried and true, and no one doubts it's ability to proform, but what about a large birdshot. It may be effective in an apartment situation to use birdshot, rather than buckshot. Traditionally when I...

    Girl not a gun fan...

    After doing various searches with 400 pages of looking involved, I decided just to bring it up (probably again). As even a young man I trained in Kali (Philippino knife fighting) and carried a legal knife every where, even to this day I carry a knife for a SHTF situation. At home I keep a...

    Gun Safe Photos

    Dear Friends, I was doing my usual online surfing when I came across a few photos of gun safes that had either A) Been pried or ripped open, or B) A miserable failure at opening a safe. Have any of you, or people you know, have had an experience like this, do you have any photos? I wonder...

    Assault Weapons Ban and Obama

    Hey, The guys I work with and other people that I discuss it with seem to be in agreement that (should Obama get into the White House) he may sign a similar Assault Weapon Ban that Bush did not renew. We have all discussed how it is a good chance something like that might happen. What do you...

    .357 Mag Carbine

    Hey, I love the .357 Mag cartridge! It's power, price, and interchangability with the .38 Special is just amazing. I was wondering and thinking about getting a .357 Mag carbine. What are your thoughts? It doesn't seem that they make too many of these styles of firearm, just a handful. What are...

    Gun Safe in Garage?

    Dear Friends, I currently keep my five long guns in a false wall in my closet. I have decided that this is not good enough for general safty from burglars, intruders, (possibly kids), or friends. I recently purchased a gun safe. It's perfect for my needs, but I am thinking about keeping it...
